Tech Xplore / AI catches up with humans to score 100% at top math contest
A perfect score at the world's most prestigious math contest used to be the preserve of a handful of bright young minds each year, but for the first time, artificial intelligence has also earned a perfect score.
Phys.org / Juno takes temperature of Jupiter's fiery moon Io
NASA's Juno mission has provided the first measurements of the temperature below the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, revealing significant heating within the shallow subsurface of the most volcanically active world in the solar ...
Medical Xpress / Natural compounds against sarcoma: Which one shows the greatest potential?
Curcumin, berberine and other plant-derived compounds have long attracted scientific interest because of their anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. A new study by researchers from Wroclaw Medical University and the ...
Medical Xpress / Gene activity in blood fluctuates more than expected—and that has consequences for medicine
Take a blood sample from someone in the dead of winter. Take another in midsummer. Same person, same laboratory. And yet, at the level of gene activity, the molecular picture can look surprisingly different. This is not an ...
Medical Xpress / Premature blood stem cell aging in sickle cell disease may be reversible
Sickle cell disease causes premature aging of blood stem cells, which scientists may be able to address with a special class of drugs, according to a new study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Patients with sickle ...
Phys.org / Microscale roughness breakthrough defies 80 years of fluid dynamics
Logically, you would think a sleek surface has optimal aerodynamics—but recent research at Tohoku University turns this fundamental principle on its head. Applying an irregular microscale surface texture reduced the aerodynamic ...
Phys.org / Low cloud-cover has helped mute warming for the last 47 years, but models predict this will change
A recent study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, combines historical satellite observations with atmospheric reanalysis data to construct a multidecade record of low-cloud cover in the hope of improving current ...
Medical Xpress / New immune mechanism helps explain why ovarian cancer stops responding to chemotherapy
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have identified a new mechanism behind the chemotherapy resistance that makes ovarian cancer so lethal. In a new study published in The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, the researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Artery-on-a-chip helps predict stroke risk
Predicting an individual's risk of ischemic stroke is difficult because thrombosis embolization—the process of a blood clot detaching from the area where it formed, traveling and then sticking in another blood vessel—is based ...
Phys.org / Genetically distinct avocados discovered in Nicaragua
A team of scientists led by researchers at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and Texas A&M University recently uncovered genetic traces of ancient migration in DNA from avocados growing in Nicaragua. They ...
Phys.org / Genome tool places large genetic sequences precisely in rice and tobacco without DNA breaks
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a new way to add large pieces of genetic information to plants, overcoming a challenge that has limited plant biotechnology for decades. ...
Tech Xplore / Kimi K3 intensifies pressure on Trump to confront Chinese AI competition
U.S. President Donald Trump is under pressure to respond to the growing success of Chinese AI models that many companies prefer to the more powerful, but pricier, U.S. versions from Anthropic or OpenAI.
